Extracting the first two words and the date of birth, and manipulating the date, and putting everything inside a sentence:
{=extractregex(text, "\w+\s\w+")} was born on {date=extractregex(text, "\d\d\s\w+\s\d\d\d\d")}{time: dddd, MMMM Do YYYY; at={=date}; pattern=DD MMMM YYYY}.
Source text - the text from where you want to extract something using regex:
{formparagraph: name=text; cols=50; rows=3; default=The phone number is 555-55555.}
Regex string - Where you'll build your regex pattern:
{formtext: name=regex; cols=50; default=\\d\\d\\d-\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d}
Syntax - What the final regex command will look like:
{=concat("{=extractregex(\"")}{=text}{=concat("\", \"")}{=regex}{=concat("\")}")}
Extracted - What your regex command has extracted from the source text:
{if: regex <> ""}{=catch(extractregex(text, regex), "No matches")}{endif}
